What Is Aimovig Sureclick Autoinjector?

Erenumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks the activation of a certain protein that can produce a migraine attack. This protein, called calcitonin gene- related peptide (CGRP), can cause blood vessels to dilate and cause inflammation and migraine headache pain.

Erenumab is used to prevent migraine headaches in adults.

Erenumab may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

You should not use erenumab if you are allergic to it.

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

an allergy to latex.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether this medicine will harm an unborn baby. However, having migraine headaches during pregnancy may cause complications such as preeclampsia (dangerously high blood pressure that can lead to medical problems in both mother and baby). The benefit of preventing migraines may outweigh any risks to the baby.

It may not be safe to breast-feed while using this medicine. Ask your doctor about any risk.
